The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father - Chapter 204
[“The CEO, Have You Admitted Your Mistake Today?”]
[…]
[“Techniques of Acting for Film and Television”]
[“Stage Design…”]
[“MSG Production”]
[“Criminal Psychology Research”]
…
Xiao Chuchu lay in her swaddling clothes, drawing prizes, her eyes growing brighter.
She discovered that this time, in her ten consecutive draws, she had hit the jackpot on all of them.
She obtained four modern novels and six skill-based books.
Perhaps it was due to receiving the blessing of an imperial elite, but her luck had reached its peak at this moment.
“Marvelous!” Xiao Yunzhou couldn’t help but clap his hands in delight upon hearing about so many celestial texts from the Immortal Realm.
Xiao Chuchu’s inner monologue abruptly stopped, and her delicate little face turned to look quizzically at her father who had suddenly spoken.
[What’s Dad so happy about? He’s laughing even more exaggeratedly than me, and I just won all ten draws.]
Xiao Yunzhou felt a moment of embarrassment, and looking up, he realized that apart from Wei Zheng standing at the door, the study was empty.
Xiao Yunzhou cleared his throat, “Wei Zheng… your posture is marvelous!”
“???” Wei Zheng let out a confused sound, his eyes bewildered.
“Ahem, you’ve reminded me. The Ministry of Justice mentioned some unsolved cases last time. I’ve just had some new ideas.”
Wei Zheng grew even more confused, but his sycophantic instincts quickly kicked in. Beaming, he said, “This humble servant was just standing randomly, yet Your Majesty could associate it with serial murder cases. Truly brilliant!”
“…” Xiao Yunzhou’s mouth twitched.
[Oh, speaking of serial murder cases, I just remembered. I drew some forensic autopsy and coroner skill books a while ago. I wonder if the people at the Ministry of Justice in Jing Country have had any epiphanies yet~]
Xiao Chuchu had grown accustomed to it. All the skill books she obtained through drawing would manifest in the world as sudden inspirations for the talented individuals of Jing Country.
This was the butterfly effect of her transmigration, the buff rewards brought by the system’s prize draws.
Xiao Chuchu no longer worried about how she should strive to make an effort.
She just needed to lie there and draw skill books, and that was it. It was quite satisfying.
After all, she was just a baby. What could one expect a baby to do?
[Being a slacker is my destiny~]
[Come on, people at the Ministry of Justice.]
[And what about the firearms and gunpowder development skill books I drew last time? Hasn’t my uncle figured it out yet?]
[The talented people of Jing Country, hurry up and work hard. And those talented individuals attracted from Chu State…]
Xiao Chuchu’s inner monologue began to take stock.
Xiao Yunzhou suddenly felt he had no right to remain seated. With his daughter’s stream of thoughts, he realized he hadn’t completed a pile of tasks!
“Wei Zheng, where are the cases compiled by the Ministry of Justice? And the coroner’s autopsy experience book? They submitted one volume last time, saying it wasn’t finished yet. Where are these things?”
“Yes, I’ll go and expedite them right away.”
“Also, the Ministry of Works said they had further research on gunpowder. Liu Runnian submitted a memorial, but it only had preliminary ideas. What about the follow-up? Go and hurry them along.”
“Yes, I’ll…”
“And the Ministry of Personnel, have they drafted a policy for employing special talents from Chu State who are willing to come to our Jing Country to realize their ambitions, regardless of disabilities, appearance, age, or gender?”
“Uh, I’ll go and ask right away!”
“What about the Ministry of Revenue? The people of Chu State enjoy our roast duck and pork. When does the Ministry plan to start selling in Chu State? Have they solved the supply issues?”
“The Ministry of War, how’s the military training going? Any progress in the mutual learning with the Grassland Duoti?”
Xiao Yunzhou fired off a series of urgent inquiries.
Wei Zheng, sweating profusely, ran in and out of the hall repeatedly to transmit imperial edicts and urge the Six Ministries and the Cabinet!
By sunset, the entire Cabinet and Six Ministries of Jing Country, as well as Xiao Yunzhou himself, were so busy they couldn’t straighten their backs, their minds hazy from overuse.
Xiao Chuchu woke up after several naps and, seeing everyone’s exhausted state, finally felt a bit ashamed of her own idleness.
[What can I do to help everyone?]
At her core, Xiao Chuchu was still a conscientious adult.
[Everyone is so tired and busy, while I’m just lying here.]
Silly girl.
Xiao Yunzhou, finished with his work, was exhausted, his back aching. But hearing his daughter’s thoughtful words, he felt all his fatigue vanish.
“Chancellor Fu Cha, I now understand what you said years ago about treating the people as a parent would treat their children.”
“Back then, I had no children, so naturally, I didn’t understand the principles of being a father. But now, no matter how busy or tired I am, just one look at the little princess makes me feel it’s all worth it.”
“As long as the little princess is happy, I feel like I have inexhaustible energy.” As Xiao Yunzhou spoke, he took a break from the policy discussion to pick up Chuchu from her cradle and press his forehead against hers.
These words moved Xiao Chuchu, and they were like a beam of light, bringing her new ideas.
The next moment, Chancellor Fu Cha and the other ministers of the Six Ministries, already accustomed to the Emperor’s parental affection, put on airs and agreed, “It’s all for the children, for the people. We feel the same as Your Majesty.”
Xiao Chuchu was infected by the fatherly attitude permeating the study, but also felt it was a bit too heavy.
[Parents who treat their children well often don’t seek repayment from their children.]
[Sometimes children take this love for granted and forget to be filial and considerate towards their parents.]
[Woof, the system let me draw modern novels, acting, and stage-related books this time. Could these entertainment rewards be reminding me that it’s time to add some relaxing entertainment activities for these hardworking ancient people?]
Xiao Chuchu felt she had an epiphany!
It’s worth noting that previously, the system’s prize draws had always been about technology and skills for daily life. This was the first time she got entertainment-related novels.
Xiao Chuchu felt she was probably right.
[This system is quite intelligent, knowing that our Jing Country has been developing for some time now.]
[Whether it’s the court officials or the common people of Jing Country raising pigs and ducks or farming, everyone has been working hard. So it gives me entertainment rewards.]
[“Techniques of Acting for Film and Television”], [“The Art of Stage Design…”], plus one male-oriented cultivation novel with an overbearing protagonist, and a romance novel about chasing after an ex-wife.]
[This considers the different tastes of male and female audiences in Jing Country.]
Xiao Chuchu’s grape-like big eyes sparkled brightly. [Jing Country can develop an entertainment industry now! Web novels, comics, stage plays, storytelling in taverns.]
Xiao Yunzhou, who had just pressed his forehead against his daughter’s, didn’t dare to move carelessly as he was led by these inner thoughts. He pricked up his ears, involuntarily imagining along with his little princess’s thoughts.
[“We need to secure the copyright for these print novels and comics. We’ll sell them not only in Jing Country but also spread them to neighboring countries, allowing Jing Country’s book publishers and novel writers to make money.”]
[“Once these novels and comics become famous in Jing Country and neighboring countries, becoming major IPs, we can have carefully selected and trained opera troupes perform stage plays and tour various places.”]
[“This way, we not only collect ticket revenue and generate income for Jing Country, but also increase entertainment options for the people of Jing Country and neighboring countries.”]
[“Thus, we can make money, provide entertainment, and spread Jing Country’s unique culture to everyone in the world!”]
[“In the future, when people think of stage plays and novels, they’ll think of our Jing Country!”]
[“Jing Country will become the largest entertainment industry country!”]
Xiao Yunzhou stared in amazement.
Although he didn’t understand some of the Immortal Realm vocabulary, he grasped the little princess’s vision for the entertainment industry!
Making money, increasing people’s happiness, and spreading culture—killing three birds with one stone.
What was he waiting for?
Earlier, Xiao Yunzhou hadn’t thought about immediately memorizing the “chasing wife crematorium” books his daughter mentioned.
Now, he listened as if hearing divine wisdom!
[“Hmm, let me see. This ‘Dragon Pride Cultivates Immortality’ novel and this ‘Chasing Wife Crematorium’ novel are quite good.”]
[“‘CEO, Have You Apologized Today?’ could be adapted to a Jing Country setting as ‘Capital City’s Richest Man, Have You Apologized Today?'”]
[“Chapter One: Contract Marriage…”]
[“Chapter Thirteen: Running Away Pregnant…”]
[“Chapter Twenty: She’s Back…”]L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏(.)co𝒎
[“Chapter Forty-Two: I Just Borrowed Your Seed!”]
[“Chapter Fifty-Three: I Don’t Need a Rich Man, I Can Become Rich Myself!”]
Xiao Yunzhou memorized while staring in disbelief.
This… this book, would it really be okay to write and publish under the emperor’s name!?
Wouldn’t all the wealthy men in the world rise up against him?
Xiao Yunzhou’s eyebrows twitched. After a while, he coughed lightly.
“Wei Zheng, go and summon the top scholar.”
